TRACK YOUR MARCH

Kidney March — Kilometre Tracking for 2020

How to track your walks with STRAVA

STRAVA offers three main ways to record an activity: entering the data manually, recording your walk with the STRAVA app on your phone as you walk, or syncing the data recorded by a fitness tracker, likely a GPS watch.

Through the STRAVA Phone APP

Tap the Record tab. You can change any settings you need to, such as toggling auto-pause or audio cues on or off, then hit Start. The GPS on your smartphone will record the data from there, and once you’re done with your workout it will be uploaded to your activities when you hit SAVE.

Manual Entry

On both platforms, choose the plus sign +

(for example, upper right on desktop) then

select the manual entry option. From there,

you can fill in as many details as you know

about your walk or activity.

Through Your Personal Fitness Tracking Devices

STRAVA recognizes many mainstream

brands of fitness trackers. You’ll then see a

list of available brands to connect with your

STRAVA account. You can link your

STRAVA account with your device so that

activities recorded on it will automatically

sync and upload to STRAVA . On desktop,

you can choose the plus sign, then

click Upload activity to upload an individual

workout from your device.

WAY #1

After you’ve finished recording and saved your activity you can make changes to the activity info, add photos, add comments, and more from the ‘Edit’ screen. — How do I edit? When viewing one of your activities, tap into the overflow menu (the “three dots” icon) or tap your phone's Menu button (if available) and select Edit Activity. You can edit the activity's name, type, gear, and privacy setting. To crop/shorten the activity (For example if you got into your car and drove while still recording) you can remove this extra data at the start or end of an activity through the website version only, go to strava.com and edit your activity there.

Privacy Zones Create a privacy zone around your home or work in order

to hide the portion of your activity that starts or stops within your privacy zone from other STRAVA athletes. Learn more at: https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000173384-Privacy-Zones

JOIN THE CLUB

Why is everything on the Kidney March Club measured as a ‘RUN’ in

STRAVA? It looks like there are no activities? The STRAVA program focuses on two main activities Running and Cycling, for some

of the functions of the app these are the only options available. Because of this the

STRAVA club event type options are only "Running" or "Cycling". So they may show

zero activities in the display fields and only show activates classified as “runs.”

Please note - We are not asking you to run for Kidney March, Kidney March is a

walk.

Club pages allow everyone to share our activities within the club so we

can see everyone in one place. Once you join the Club all your activities will

automatically show under recent activities. You will also be able to post and

have discussions with other Club members. The Club features a leaderboard,

upcoming Club Events and allows you to share the Club activities with others.

To view other Kidney

March Club members

and their activities tap

or click the following

areas circled on these

screen shots. Even if

they say “0” activities

on the leaderboard

you will still be able to

view their walks.
